First Game of Bolt Action in Forever! Warsaw Poles vs. Germans.

 


   This is from a game that was in mid-October. Since we have been so busy, Kalissa and I took the opportunity to travel and visit my In-laws. Of course, that was not the originally reason. We were actually going to a Bolt Action Tournament at the Hobbytown, USA near Kennesaw, GA. This was the same store that my wife and I started wargaming together at. What started it all! More important, this was a tournament that was not cancelled due to Covid-19. The players decided to be adults and take the normal risks that have always been around since the beginning of time. Sure, we took measures that were still under the guide of local state rules. It was nice to gather with a group of gamers again. Grant it, if this event was cancelled, I would have been able to meet up my local gamers. 

    Anyway, I was there for support with terrain and to be an alternate player. As it turned out, I was need for a game. One of the players showed up late, so we played more of a demo game. He was a new player who happened to have German forces with all of the equipment they would have had for the Warsaw Uprising. This gave me a chance to try out how my Polish would fair. I made them out of interest for a force and an escalation league that I was suppose to have started playing already. I have quite a few games to catch up in. However, the Polish had a great first game. The game ended as a "Draw", but it was interesting to see how the AK Militia fair in squads of 20 riflemen. Assaults and close combat are what my list seem to fair well with. I just need a lot of terrain to pull it off. Here are the few shots I had taken from the game. Enjoy!
